ETPro Client cvars and commands

By The Birdman & =FF=im2good4u

This list contains all ETPro client cvars and commands (hopefully).

We have tried to include as much information in each description as possible, but some might require more explaining, so links to other pages here or the forums have been added.

Note: If there is any ETPro client cvars/commands that you think we have omitted or any that you think the description is wrong then pm me here, if you don't know how to edit this page. Before pm’ing/editing are you sure it’s an ETPro cvar/command and not another mods or an ETmain one, if it is ETPro then either edit or let me know what cvar/command we’ve omitted, adding a short description of what it’s use is, if known to you. If you think a description is wrong, quote the cvar/command and it’s description adding your description of it or edit.

Apologies for all the ..... to try create new lines or push things along to create a line so things look a bit better in some of the description sections, but i couldn't start new lines using the pitatable.
